Fantasy Chili Bowl – Week One

Welcome to the latest update from the FFScout Community’s newest team contest, the Fantasy Chili Bowl (FCB). Here we will update you on the group draw, fixture list and squad selection as we look ahead to this weekend’s first matches.

THE DRAW

The draw took place in a grungy room at the weekend to decide who was in what conference, with the results as follows (captains names in brackets):

Conference A: Miami Magicians (Neenyg), Los Angeles Vipers (Goldman), San Antonio Ravers (Az), Boston Hawks (Jonjo Shall_We?), Washington DC Presidents (Cheese), New Orleans Contes (Jazz!)

Conference B: Austin Powers (Ronhaar), Chicago Bull Sitters (Mr Calm), Mississippi Hillbillies (Adam West), Phoenix Philistines (Kingozil), Cleveland Steamers (BabyB), Philadelphia Sentrymen (Narcos)

Conference C: San Francisco Bulls Deep (Le God), Las Vegas Lemmings (Kings of Lyon), San Jose Holebas (Spectrum), San Diego Casuals (Tets McGee), Seattle Salad Dodgers (Athletico Timbo), New York Tommy Guns (Siddharth)

Conference D: Jacksonville Jamaicans (Lateriser12), Albuquerque Shaolin (KJ), Waikiki Beach Raiders (Cylus11), Utah Polygamists (Say Something Significant), Denver DoesDallas (Shipstontrev), Indianapolis House of Pancakes (Pirlo’s Pen)

Conference B has been widely regarded as the “group of death”, but with just two to qualify from each conference, this competition is going to be tough for everyone.

Side Orders

Further previews and nuggets of information will be posted within the comments throughout the week, but the important things to know are as follows:

  • Captains must email the FCB mailbox (fantasychilibowl@gmail.com) with their decision on which two players they are benching this week before the deadline of 11:59pm UK time on Friday night.  11:59pm UK time on the night before the FPL deadline will be the deadline each week.
  • Remember this is a FFS community competition and we expect all teams to have some presence within the comments on these articles.  If we see some teams not participating on this front, we will start enforcing rules to ensure this does happen.  With reference to the rule regarding FFS registration has been clear from the outset, and we are taking this rule seriously.  It is up to the captains to ensure that all players are eligible according to the rules, and if they aren’t by the weekend we will be banning these players from the competition without debate.
  • The full rules can be found here  – this includes details of the all-star game, and other individual/team awards.

If you have any further queries, feel free to ask below in the comments or email us at: fantasychilibowl@gmail.com

As a final request, please do try and keep the FCB chat to the comment sections of our articles.

      as far as i can tell, the spreadsheet linked in teh article has been updated to have the correct benches based on the emails last night (feel free to comment here if this isn't the case). Scores still relate to last week but that will be updated after teams are locked in.

      Spreadsheet is at:

      Difficult Tets. As a manager you've introduced a strict regime for us:

      Mon: Bible class.
      Tue: Delia cooking class.
      Wed: Indoor Rock Climbing class.
      Thu: We're all getting our hair cut.
      Fri: Origami class.

      ... If you can find time to check the result, pick the team for the next GW, great. If you can't, no worries.

      Casual.

    Hi All,

    Have made a quick and dirty spreadsheet to list no of players owned each side.

    Instructions:
    1. Make a copy of the sheet first so that you can edit it.
    2. Enter the GW no. on top of the sheet (Column B1)
    3. Enter the FPL IDs in the yellow/orange marked columns

    and voila find the list of players in the column nearby.

      If the columns are blank, wait a moment and then refresh, the columns should be filled automatically.

      Well Aburquerque are starring in missing

    I am letting my team down.Sorry lads 🙁

    1. gro1994
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It could have been worse for you! I was benched (understandably) by San Antonio... Who could have predicted the Anichebe haul?!

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Your captain should resign 😉

        1. gro1994
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Haha, I'm behind my captain all the way! Besides, I took a -8, played Fuchs and benched Capoue, so it's far from perfect...

  14. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ

    Sing when your winning, siiinnggg when your win-ing

    1. A.T

      Any idea of the diffs Specy la?

      1. Ziro

        Look above in my spreadsheet.

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I had a look at the other. Just realised they're last week's points lol.

          1. Ziro
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            How's your team doing? Tried in the differentials sheet? The total should be ok with live points other than bonus points.

            1. A.T
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              I haven't had chance to look properly yet. Will do when I get a minute

      2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I dare not look. A WBA cleanie though and we could be in trouble if I remember rightly. Kudos on Anichebe by the way

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Cheebs was a bit of a fluke tbh.

  15. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I reckon Washington DC are ahead

  16. JohnnyRev7
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    So, Agüero, Lukaku, Sánchez and Coutinho all blanked with the Alice band. It's gonna be a low scoring week for the anoraks.

        You never know.
        A Burnley 1-0 win and they might nick it...

        Maybe I'm just thinking like a president, I should be positive!

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      It looks promising.Fingers crossed and thanks for this President Oghash

    3. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty sure we have ×3 Heaton and x2 Hazard

      Going to be a close finish I think!

      1. oghash
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Pretty sure you don't. regardless we've still won.

    2. yash

      Hopefully Hazard can stay quiet.

    As far as I can work out in Waikiki v Utah
    Waikiki have 36 point lead
    We both have some players left
    Hazard, McCauley Heston yada yada

    1. John t penguin
      • 9 Years

      Heaton

  23. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I have it as
    San Jose Holebas 170 Seattle Salad Dodgers 132

    This includes sub points, I have added Capoue in for the Dodgers in place of Chadli, if he plays you can take 10 off that 132

    Differentials (I Think)

    San Jose
    Brunt
    McCauley
    Costa x2

    Seattle
    Evans x5
    Foster x2
    Mee
    Vokes
    Chadli?

    1. A.T

      San Jose fav's then 🙁

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        A WBA cleanie and it's squeaky bum time

      2. djenzio
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        not so sure, a WBA cleanie would give you guys about 30points not taking any bonus into account.

        any attacking returns from Evans is game over for us.

  24. VougieDipond
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is there somewhere to see what players have been picked for your opponents for the GW?

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Your opponents have Meerlight and Dog got it benched

      Adam west
      Sporting
      Eden Hazardous
      Prophet
      Your Mums Athletic
      Moin

  25. Gussy

    When you're currently the highest scorer in the comp but you're benched... 😛

    Come on Utah!!!

    1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      We too have our highest scoring benched. So it equals out.

    Shaolin beating us because they had 4 Capoues to our none.

    They have 4 costa we have 3 hazards. Thats what its gonna come down to.

    1. Gothenburgsaints
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ouch. Feel for your team. 4 Capoue playing is not really what you would expect to bring you down.

    Early thoughts on captains next week?

    Pool mid? Alexis? Theo? Kun?

    Going to be so tricky.

    1. Gothenburgsaints
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Holebas is the obvious choice for our team. Comes highly recommended and with a 15 p warranty.

      1. djenzio
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I have to agree with my handsome colleague

  29. djenzio

    7 years, 7 months ago

    News of rogue San Joseans spotted outside the WBA training ground trying to get Ben Foster as high as a kite with some of that fine 'Cali Dope' ahead of MNF.

    "Come on Boro, just put it in the net. Your efforts will be rewarded with a brand new iPhone 7."

  30. Pirlø's Pen
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    IHOP looking close to topling Denver, it will be close though. 2 points ahead.

    Us:
    2 x Heaton
    1 x Brunt
    2 x Alonso
    2 x Costa

    Them
    1 x Foster
    1 x Evans
    1 x McAuley
    2 x Fletcher

    1. Shipstontrev
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      So a West Brom cleanse tomorrow changes everything. Game on!

      1. Pirlø's Pen
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Big Chelsea win today may seal it!

        1. Shipstontrev
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Red card for Costa would make it interesting! Surely his luck will run out sometime.
